¹⁴ For I will be like a lion^(A) to Ephraim,
    like a great lion to Judah.
I will tear them to pieces^(B) and go away;
    I will carry them off, with no one to rescue them.^(C)

⁷ So I will be like a lion^(A) to them,
    like a leopard I will lurk by the path.
⁸ Like a bear robbed of her cubs,^(B)
    I will attack them and rip them open;
like a lion^(C) I will devour them—
    a wild animal will tear them apart.^(D)
